Kehoe Gymnasium, 653 W. 37th Street in Chicago. All past and present parishioners are most welcome! Since Fr. Jason s arrival at St. Ferdinand much has happened in terms of improvements, renova ons and upgrades. Methodically and consistently Fr. Jason moves forward with plans to provide for his parishioners Spiritual needs, pastoral services, educa onal excellence and environmental improvements. It is a pleasure to walk around the parish grounds and see the beau ful Gro o of our Blessed Mother, the wellkept gardens and the seasonal flowers and decora- ons. Inside the Church and the Chapel he created a tranquil area for prayer and medita on for us and the parish community. Parish Halls are clean and unclu ered.the main hall (known as McManus Hall) was completely renovated from floor to ceiling making it the state of the art facility for all of us to enjoy. Much energy, effort, resourcefulness, hard work and crea ve financing on the part of Fr. Jason went into making this Hall what it is today. Parish Council of St. Ferdinand Church unanimously approved to rename the McManus Hall to Jason Torba Center.Giving the honor and credit to the man who made it happen. This was our Birthday Gi to Fr. Jason who deserves every bit of credit for not only this improvement, but the Convent, Church, Chapel, Rectory, School and the parish grounds. He can also be credited for bringing the cultures and the people of St. Ferdinand together. It is not a Polish or English Parish, it is St. Ferdinand Parish. Once the Convent is completely remodeled McManus Hall and Cortesi Hall will be housed there to honor our predecessors for what they did and how much they meant to the Parish.

PREMIERA DAMY, FILMU O MARII KACZYŃSKIEJ Wychowana w katolickiej rodzinie, w duchu poszanowania tradycji i polskiej kultury. Śmiało kroczyła przez życie niosąca w sercu wartości zaszczepione w rodzinnym domu troskę i poszanowanie dla drugiego człowieka, miłość do Ojczyzny. Otwartość, ciekawość świata, naturalna życzliwość pomagały Jej torować drogę do drugiego człowieka. Oddana rodzinie kochająca i wspierająca żona, ale i troskliwa, pełna ciepła i czułości matka. Z ogromnym zaangażowaniem i oddaniem wychowywała córkę - Martę przekazując wartości, które nosiła w sobie. Taka właśnie była Pani Prezydentowa Maria Kaczyńska i taki Jej obraz w swoim nowym filmie DAMA przywołuje reżyserka Maria Dłużewska. Nieprzypadkowo, premiera filmu Dama (2015) odbędzie się w niedzielę 10 maja w Dniu Matki, kiedy to w sposób szczególny dziękujemy Mamom za serce, ciepło, troskę, cierpliwość, za wychowanie i otaczamy Je naszą miłością. Tego dnia będziemy też modlić się podczas uroczystej Mszy św. za Ojczyznę (odprawianej każdego 10 dnia miesiąca) za wszystkie ofiary katastrofy smoleńskiej, w tym Pana Prezydenta Lecha Kaczyńskiego i Panią Prezydentową Marię Kaczyńską. Premiera filmu DAMA oraz spotkanie z reżyserką Marią Dłużewską odbędą się W NIEDZIELĘ - 10 MAJA PO UROCZYSTEJ MSZY ŚW. ZA OJCZYZNĘ, KTÓRA ROZPOCZNIE SIĘ O GODZ PM w naszym kościele.

Niech Pan Bóg obdarzy swoim błogosławieństwem i udzieli obfitych łask rodzicom dzieci przystępujących do I Komuni św. którzy zatroszczyli się o czystosć w naszym kościele oraz wynagrodzi za ofiarną pracę i poświęcony czas.

13 May 3, 2015 Fi h Sunday of Easter Page Thirteen The AM radio in my car died several months ago. I didn t listen to a lot of AM programming, but I enjoyed Relevant Radio on my drive to and from work some mes, and I always got quick traffic and weather updates from WLS and WBBM. So when my used (but-new -to-me) Volvo was due for some scheduled maintenance a few weeks a er the AM cold shoulder, I took it to Patrick Volvo in Schaumburg, IL and asked the service guys there how much it would cost me to get the radio fixed. A er hearing the details, they said that the car radio didn t need to be fixed. They said it needed to be replaced. OK, I asked them. How much to replace the radio? They lost me at several hundred dollars So now I m strictly an FM guy. I know I can listen to Relevant Radio online through my smart phone, but I like cranking up the dial, you know? To that end, my daughter gave me six months of Sirius XM for Christmas. While this hasn t kept me well-informed, it has kept me well-entertained. I m par al to channels 31 and 32. Both feature acous c guitar music, and when the radio s on, I d say that 75% of the me, one of these two is coming at me. I ve got bu ons keyed onto channel 7, as well (70s on 7), channel 49 (Soul Town), and channel 150 (Spanish music). And just recently I keyed a bu on onto a sta on I stumbled upon trying to find a local weather report. Channel 128: Joel Osteen. If you re not familiar with the evangelical preacher from Texas, I m sure you can read about him online. What I ve learned thus far is that he did TV produc on for his father s ministry years Support Staff Mrs. Zofia Mazurek, Parish Secretary Sr. Kamila Wojdyla, Administrative Assistant Ms. Elizabeth Ceisel-Mikowska, Bulletin Editor Mr. Kamil Duda, Website Designer/Editor Liturgical Bro.

Reynolds (john@jrwrites.com) St. Ferdinand Parish ago. Then his dad died, and when Joel moved--somewhat hesitantly --into pastoring, the flock responded. Osteen preaches a prosperity gospel as I ve heard the term described (abundance here, abundance there, abundance, abundance everywhere) and I m sure some Catholics and non-catholic Chris ans alike take issue with it. S ll, the guy is upbeat, and--to my ears--sincere. He preaches that even when things are not going well for us, we need to be pa ent-- and hopeful-- because each one of us is a child of the most high God. And indeed we are. I think of Joel Osteen and his preaching now as I consider today s readings. For one thing, Osteen is quick to say God puts people in our lives that can help us fulfill our divine des nies. Look at the first reading. Where would the Apostle Paul be, if not for Barnabas? Osteen is quick to say also that we have to do our part-- we have to remain in faith, never doub ng that God is for us--to allow God to work miracles in our lives. OK. Now look at St. John s encouragement/direc on in the second reading: Beloved, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence in God and receive from him whatever we ask. And we hear more of the same in the Gospel from Jesus himself. If you remain in me and my words remain in you, he says, ask for whatever you want and it will be done for you. By this is my Father glorified, that you bear much fruit and become my disciples. I don t know what this sounds like to you, but it sounds like a prosperity gospel to me. And like Osteen, I embrace the message.
